swooper: I like that idea and will incorporate it into my build. I had read most of what was on Fubarhill, and I guess I skimmed over this one without thinking. I am still considering my next option on the TE sheeting though. It did straighten out somewhat as the titebond dried, but there are still some dips in the sheeting between the ribs. Until I get this worked out, I am at a stopping point. Thanks for the input on the strut connections.
